Photo Stream does not sync photos. It makes photos that are taken on one device available on your other devices. The difference is that photos that get to your iPad or iPhone by methods other than being taken and saved on the camera roll will not get copied to Photo Stream.

Poorly worded. Sorry.
Anything that you save to the camera roll will go to Photo Stream. Albums synced through iTunes will not. Photos saved to the camera roll before you turn on Photo Stream will not.
Syncing tries to keep everything the same in two or more places. Photo Stream, by contrast, only makes new stuff available in more than one place.
It's a subtle difference, but it makes a profound difference in how it is used.
